Amazing trip!
We had an absolutely incredible trip to Uganda with the amazing Francis.
This was a very special family trip as my Mum grew up in Uganda but hadn't been back there for 50 years. Francis effortlessly helped us to create an itinerary which allowed us to combine visits to places from my Mum's childhood along with a more regular safari/sightseeing itinerary. I actually contacted three different tour operators in the planning stage but Francis immediately stood out as the most responsive and helpful out of all of them.
Uganda was truly amazing in every way, but our trip was really enhanced by Francis's help, flexibility and knowledge. We all had so much fun with him and it made it the trip of a lifetime. Thank you so much!

Professional with personal touch,100% recommend
7 days trip with Francis. He has helped us personalize the trip to our liking. He is highly knowledgeable and professional but on top of that super sweet and adds his personal touch to the whole experience. Everything was well organized and on time, lodges were great (mid luxury package) and experience was unforgettable. Highly recommend to visit Uganda it’s a beautiful country and thanks to Francis for making us feel welcome and safe

Francis was absolutely the best, knowledgable about Ugandan culture and wildlife; a wonderful host!
Travelling with Nature Connect Safaris Uganda was one of the best experiences I've had! This was my first time visiting a country in Africa and it was absolutely spectacular. Francis really earns all of the credit, he managed to design a tour that really fit the balance between a classic safari while also incorporating cultural elements that were absolutely unique. He additionally knows his country like the back of his hand, and was able to answer any question I asked with clarity and detail; trust me I had a lot of questions but recieved even more answers! The safari was very secure, we felt safe the entire time. Additionally we were able to see so many things in just 13 days from Chimpanzees to gorillas to lions and leapords; from traditional dances to the cultivation of coffee and the preparation of banana gin. We were also able to see the diverse geographies that Uganda has to offer, all of which were thanks to the wonderful tour organized by Nature Connect Safaris Uganda.

Outstanding made the trip and my 70th birthday very memorable.
I have taken other safari tours in Africa, and this is the best company. Well organized, communicates and responds to WhatsApp quickly, excellent value for tour plan, exceptional accommodations and a private tour. They were also very flexible to change plans while traveling to accommodate our personal interests such as visiting the cultural and people of Uganda. Our tour guide and driver Francis was very polite, good driver, always 24/7 to meet our needs or answer questions, had close relationships with the park rangers, very friendly and became one of our family members! If you are going to visit Uganda hire this company.

With Francis, most exciting wildlife experiences and relaxing tour of the awesome beauty of Uganda.
The company booked our trip swiftly and provided all the detailed information that we needed. Our very professional and exceptional guide gave us thorough information for the days activities and was always punctual. He spoke clearly and knowledgeably.
The tour was followed according to our plan, however, Francis was willing to add a few more ‘gems’ to our daily plan which made our experience in Uganda a most wonderful one.
All in all a most delightful experience that we were wished would never end.

Staying in the Nature house
Everything was fine. I felt like I’m near a real nature world. Felt so comfortable and peaceful to stay in hotel with Ugandan food. I woke up early morning and went out to the safari. Unbelievable live animals and beautiful green zone. We don’t need to say anything. Just listen and see the nature what they are.
Thank you for all arrangement and guide us for safe trip. I wish I can visit again to see elephants next time. Yap.

Francis Rukundo found the animals!
The experience that took my breath away was watching a lioness feed. But my camera and I got to see so many additional things and animals that were magnificent. Our guide Francis Rukundo was patient with my goals. My experience with Africa was a photography dream come true. More importantly, my respect for the magnificent landscape and the animals that call it home encouraged me to have a more proactive attitude about helping to preserve Africa's treasures.

Francis is a wild animal magnet!
We had an extraordinary safari in Murchison Falls National Park with Francis Rukundo, founder of Nature Connect Safaris Uganda. He not only had an uncanny sense of where to find wild animals but he was very knowledgeable about the behavior and habitat of various species. He also respected the animals and tried to make our impact on them and their environment minimal. Having said this, I got the best photos of lions I have every taken anywhere in Africa, particularly a female eating an antelope at sunset. I marveled at the fact that he was able to spot a leopard in the bush that was incredibly well camouflaged.
In addition to his ability to ferret out elusive creatures, Francis is very affable. We felt so comfortable with him, it was almost like he was an old friend. We asked a thousand questions and he patiently answered our queries. He is proficient at speaking English and can tell you about cultural and wildlife issues. He provided us with excellent service and we were always excited to see him. I look forward to traveling with Francis again someday. I highly recommend him and his company.
